BIGTRUCK Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) With a few set backs I managed to get this one done. The TV show from the late 60s billed this as a '24 Lincoln, the kit shares a platform with the '28 Lincoln Gangbusters kit. The complete chassis are the same (except tires and wheels)the engine is the same and the body is the same . The interior is where they differ. It has an 'L' shaped rear seat thats tattered, a turn style,double coffee pot meter, and a driver seat with exposed springs on the back. Outside add-ons are a big front bumper, clothesbrush wiper, side rails, fold out step, grappling hook for quick stops, twin hood scoops, a custom roof with luggage racks and air horns. The decals were pretty fagile and needed to be cleared twice before using. The original body was warped and another kit donated the body. The hood was the trouble spot, 7pcs total plus 2 handles. I got it to work great until it was totally mounted, thats when my tone and new select words changed. I know it has an engine, the hoods not glued shut but it will never be opened by me again. There were so many add on parts it was hard to grab it to add another item., but as my good friend TECHMAN says "Modeling is to relieve stress , not cause it ", it was close this time DJ. 😁 Edited November 2, 2023 by BIGTRUCK 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 well done!!! It's a odd car for sure....but any TV & movie car is great. I have a sealed kit, yet to open! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Despite the challenges with the hood, your build came out great, very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nah Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Great build Ken! Don't think this show aired in Australia, even though they inflicted Gilligan's Island and Dobie Gillis repeats on us year after year...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Nice model! Looks a bit like a car from either the Munsters of the Addams Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 You did a great job on a unique and obviously difficult model. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Congrats on beating it! I've seen this kit and I have one, but the fiddliness of it has encourgaged me to spend my little time on other stuff. Glad you built this one! Thanks for sharing it.

Tom Geiger Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Very cool! I do have a kit, but I don’t think I ever saw one built. I believe the show was only one season, probably find episodes online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 I think this is the first time I've ever seen a built example of this kit. Having built the two other versions of the 1928 Lincoln, I feel your pain regarding the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelbuilder Mark Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Do not see these built up really. I have one in the stash, so it is nice to see yours. It even looks fiddly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
